Reviews in Manchester

A very lovely restaurant. Good menu. Prices realistic. Very attentive staff - don't mither you if you're the last table standing - as we most usually are!! Nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is lovely and the atmosphere relaxing and enjoyable. We go there regularly for girls' nights out, birthdays or just if we fancy a nice meal instead of a take away for a change! Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Went here last night (Sat 10th Oct 2010) and to be honest I will not be going back. The whole place feels a little dated, the tables have plastic tops and no table cloths are used. The plates are also plastic (that’s right plastic plates). The food was nice a good selection of Indian, with a smaller selection of Chinese dishes. I then had the misfortune of needing to visit the toilet, imagine the worst public toilet you have ever visited and you have got it. massive sections of tiles missing from the walls, wooden toilet seats that rattle about, a great big bolt on the back of the door that has been moved about several times over the years rather than refurbish the doors and worst of all stains on the walls, on the toilet handles, pools of urine all over the floors.

Situated on the Quays near the Lowry Outlet Mall and the new Media City. Visited for lunch - very reasonably priced and great ambience. Great place for shopping and lunch - will definitely be visiting again soon.

I decided to try Baci on a one off as my niece had recently got a job there. Whilst the staff were friendly and helpful and the food superb i found the actual service a little hap-hazard. We booked for eight but were not shown to our table until half past. The food, whilst lovely took longer than desired to arrive (approx 30 minutes for the starter and further 40 for the main) but as it was absolutely packed to the rafters it was perhaps understandable. However the main issues for me and my wife were the Italian waiters whom seemed rather brusque and rude, especially when me and wife declined any wine, however that may just be the Italian manner. Furthermore, and the main issue, was that after talking to my brother the following day about the restaurant he asked if we had tipped, which we had, I was then horrified to discover that my niece will have seen none of that tip and the owner and manager keeps them all for himself. Truly shocking I believe and makes me question that whilst the food was good whether I shall return to such an establishment.

Went for a birthday meal with 4 friends and initial thoughts were that the restaurant was elegant and well decorated. Some of the staff were friendly but the main courses clearly let the place down. 1 dish arrived a bit cold and the dishes were very bland and lacked flavour. Found some of the dishes were overpriced and then they added £10 service charge which was an insult. The likes of zouk, eastz east don't do this and they still remain no.1 in city centre Indian restaurants. Will not be visiting zaika again a real let down considering the high expectations it has earned itself.

I have had the chance to come across The north star deli during a business visit, and I must say what a nice surprise! I eat out a lot because of my work and for pleasure, and what a selection in the deli, great food, fab looking place and to finish you must must try the owner favorite "gourmandise" the famous french MACARON !! Being from Paris I do know my macaron, this is perfect for a little gift for someone with a sweet tooth or to compliment your coffee. So keep up the good work guys and Ladure'e better watch out.

Brilliant restaurant,been twice and i must say id recommend this place to any one,its totally modern and stylish.....top marks 10/10.

Our family of 14 spent a delightful Sunday afternoon at Alberts Shed,the ambiance,the service,the food and the price was everything you would want. A big recommendation from us!!

i would recommend this restaurant for its high quality food and brilliant service.

Authentic, non-pretentious Japanese food. Very good quality, highly recommended. (I'm Japanese, by the way)

I have been a loyal customer at Cinnamon ever since it opened. Having tried most Indian restaurants in the area, I am in no doubt that this is the best. What is amazing (especially when compared with other good restaurants) is the absolute consistency of taste of the dishes. If you enjoy a dish once, you can guarantee that you'll enjoy it every time because it will always be exactly the same, same heat, same flavour, same taste. We've tried virtually everything on the menu over the years, and, while not everything is what I would choose (maybe too mild, or too sweet) they are without exception of excellent quality. From time to time we try somewhere else (in case we are missing something) but we've never found anywhere better. As other reviewers have mentioned, the welcome is very friendly from Khan and Abdul, the joint owners.

Excellent meals not greasy and spicy service excellent, all the waiters are friendly, each dish tasted freshly made and delicious and has its own taste we will definitely come again and will recommend to friends!!

This restaurant came recommended and I looked forward to my meal. My husband and I visited San Remo last Sunday and I must say it's "real" Italian restaurant offering a wonderful selection of fine traditional dishes and meats. We had been searching for a decent restaurant that doesn't cost the earth and San Remo delivers. My only complaint will be that the service wasn't very attentive.Waiter had no knowledge on what they're selling and there's a lack of motivation as well.No one ever came to ask if everything was OK.Maybe they just had a hard week. Will go back again anyway, it's a lovely restaurant.

Lovely food, great service and reasonably priced, will definitely be going back

i went to the standard on 25 sept 2010, i was given my starter on a chipped plate and my main meal came with another chipped plate at this point i complained and the waiter just laughed, then my friend asked for the disabled toilet they told him they don't have one, and to my disbelief they took him out side down the side of the restaurant to urinate in an ally way, i told them this was not acceptable they shrugged their shoulders, i have eaten there on many occasions but i do think the standards have gone out of the window, and i will not be going ever again,

Excellent food and excellent people.Very friendly and cant do enough for you Fabulous

This restaurant is one of the best in the Manchester area. The food, atmosphere and staff are all excellent. Service is second to none. If you love Cantonese Food Chung Ying is well worth a visit?

We eat at Madisons probably every month. The food is delicious and service very friendly. There is always a good atmosphere and often have live entertainment. Definitely a restaurant to make a regular.
